[VIDEO] Sexist Islamic Scholar Gets Schooled by Lebanese TV Host LIVE

A TV Host from Lebanon has gone absolutely viral after she stood her ground during a sexist attack on her by an Islamic scholar- LIVE ON THE AIR! Daily Mail Reports:

Rima Karaki was conducting an interview with London-based Islamist Hani Al-Seba’i for Lebanon’s Al Jadeed on the weekend of International Women’s Day, discussing reports of Christians joining Islamic groups such as ISIS in the Middle East when the scholar went off on a historical tangent.

In the footage, Karaki urges Sheik Al-Seba’i to get back to the issues being faced in the present day, and asks him another question, a request which sparks a heated argument.

‘It was at its peak during the 1970s, with the leftist revolutionary movement,’ he says.

‘Back then, we saw leftist organisation like the Red Brigades in Italy, the Red Army in Germany, the Baader Meinhof Group …’

Karaki tries to get Al-Seba’i back on topic, asking him to ‘focus on the present’.

She asks: ‘At present, what slogans are used to attract (Christians) to these groups?’

But Dr. Al Seba’i becomes angry and abruptly replies: ‘Listen, don’t cut me off. I will answer as I please.’

He then raises his voice, adding: ‘I will not answer the way you like, because I’m here to serve the idea in which I believe.’

Karaki politely explains that they have limited time on the show, but Al-Seba’i refuses to listen, telling the TV host he would not be interrupted and that he will answer as he pleases.

The host then lets the scholar know exactly who’s in charge. ‘In this studio, I run the show,’ Karaki says.

It provokes an angry reaction from Al-Seba’i. ‘Are you done?’ he says. ‘Shut up so I can talk.

‘If you are going to elaborate so much, we won’t have time for other questions.

‘Now, it’s up to you. If we have time, you will answer all the questions,’ she says.

Dr Al Seba’i replies: “You can decide as much as you like, but I will do whatever I want.’

With her palm facing the Sheikh, Karaki then delivers the ultimate end to the conversation.

‘How can a respected Sheik like yourself tell a TV host to shut up?’ she asks.

‘Either there is mutual respect or the conversation is over.’

The studio cameras then switch back to the studio leaving the Sheik in the dark.

Karaki later posted a video of the conversation on her Twitter feed, which has gone viral and received widespread support. It has had 2.3million views on YouTube.

Ania Sowinski tweeted: ‘The awesome and beautiful Rima Karaki. A great role model for young women #respect.’

Raji Abi Rached added: ‘Good job on putting disrespectful people in their place #WomensDay.’

This, aside from being entirely sexist and disgusting, is disrespect. No one should be on TV and disrespecting the host/hostess of said show, or what happened to him, will happen to anyone. The producers will cut you off. I think this clown bit off a bit more than he could chew when he tangled with Rima Karaki. Most women aren’t going to allow themselves your brand of disrespect and sexist hatred. Good luck with that, dude.
